Early negotiations have found bipartisan support for incentivizing states to pass laws that let authorities seize guns from individuals found to be a danger to themselves or others.
People mourn Tuesday at a makeshift memorial for the victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The Texas town of Uvalde began on Tuesday laying to rest the 19 young children killed in an elementary school shooting that left the small, tight-knit community united in grief and anger. a bipartisan group of senators led by John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., have spent the past few days focused on a limited set of new policies targeting gun violence.
They're still in the earliest phases of brainstorming, but three broad areas are showing promise: incentivizing states to pass red flag laws, updates to school safety protocols, and possibly some narrow changes to background checks. "We don't have to end the epidemic of gun violence in this nation with one piece of legislation, right?" Murphy said at an event this week."What we need to do is break this logjam — but break this logjam with a piece of legislation that's going to save lives, not a piece of legislation that is just going to check boxes."
Senators are looking for measures that can clear the 60-vote bar in the Senate, and Republicans in particular want to focus on changes that could have prevented the Uvalde, Texas, shooting that left two teachers and 19 children dead.
